Abstract
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) concerns the continuous monitoring of civil and industrial buildings to increase human safety and to reduce maintenance costs. The SHM system furnishes information about the alterations in a single part or in the whole structure caused by materials aging, action of the environment, or accidental events. Typically, SHM systems are devoted to monitoring: humidity, temperature, accelerations, tensile stress, compressive stress, and building materials degradation. The methods used are non-invasive and require the deployment of sensors in checkpoints well defined by the experts. The information from the sensors is merged with the mathematical models to determine the structure safety.
